If this ever catches on, i have even more reason to disable all javascript while browsing on my laptop and on battery.
As it is javascript is the number one reason for shit battery life, I don't want to make that even worse than the days of flash which its rapidly already become today.
- wmurmann 9y agoBetter off just closing your laptop then, as most sites rely heavily on JavaScript.
- mitchty 9y agoReally? My choice for the "modern" web is: no battery life or no web? Faustian bargains like that aren't a great definition of progress.
- gruez 9y agountil you hit SPA sites that need javascript to work.
- mitchty 9y agoThat would be avoidable until I'm back on power. Fundamentally the issue here is energy consumption while on battery. Without a way to say: a site can use N% of battery and then hard cap the usage down to a trickle and alerting the site that the user has limited energy resources available, I think this is a non starter. Similar to when you are on LTE you don't want to use up limited bandwidth for say 4k video and want to say: you know what, I'll deal with this later and not go over my monthly allocation, the same applies here. Is that view that unreasonable?
